rgyan drug;Six Ornaments;six ornaments;These are the six principal Indian Buddhist masters: Nāgārjuna (klu sgrub) and Asaṅga (thogs med), originators, respectively, of the lineages of the Profound View (zab mo lta rgyud) and Widespread Activities (rgya chen spyod rgyud);they are called the Two Supremes (mchog gnyis). The four others are: Āryadeva ('phags pa lha), Vasubandhu (dbyig gnyen), Dignāga (phyogs glang) and Dharmakīrti (chos grags). In some cases, the Two Supremes are not counted among the Six Ornaments, so two other masters having particular importance in the vinaya transmission are added: Śākyaprabha (shakya 'od) and Guṅaprabha (yon tan 'od). +

ta'i si tu pa;Situpa;situpa;The lineage of Situpas began with Situ Drogön Rechen (1088-1158) who received the Kamtshang-Kagyu lineage transmission from the first Karmapa Tusum Khyenpa. He was the master of Gydse Pomdrapa, who was, in turn, master of the second Karmapa Karma Pakshi. The lineage of Situpas passed from Drogön Rechen to two yogis, first to Neljor Yeshe Wangpo, and then to Rigowa Ratnabhadra. Next, it passed to Chöki Gyaltsen (1377-1448), a disciple of the fifth Karmapa Deshin Shekpa, and the first to hold the honorific title of Situ Tulku which he received from the emperor of China. The lineage continued without interruption, playing an essentid role between several Karmapas. The eighth Taī Situpa Chöli Jungne, also Chöki Nyingje or Tenpe Nyingje, was known in particular as Situ Penchen, the great scholar. He founded Pelpung monastery in 1727;this wodd become the largest Kagyu monastery in Tibet. The twelfth Tai Situpa, (fifteenth in the lineage since Drogön Rechen) Pema Nyingje Wangpo, was recognized by His Holiness the Sixteenth Karmapa. He was born in 1954 and established his headquarters at Sherab Ling in India;he gives frequent teachings in the West. He has recognized the seventeenth reincarnation of the Karmapa, Ugyen Thrinley Dorje, whom he enthroned at Tsurphu monastery in September 1992. The Tai Situpas are emanations of Maitreya, the buddha of love, who is the next Buddha to come. +
